PhD Position in Cryogenic CO₂ Desublimation for Carbon Capture

This four-year PhD position at the University of Twente focuses on cryogenic CO₂ desublimation for carbon capture. The successful candidate will design and build an experimental setup, conduct low-temperature gas tests, and employ optical imaging techniques such as Schlieren photography. The research integrates modelling, data analysis, and experimental validation to improve carbon capture efficiency. Applicants should have a strong background in chemical engineering, physics, or a related field, with an interest in sustainable energy solutions.

• Design and construct an experimental setup for cryogenic CO₂ desublimation studies.
• Conduct low-temperature gas tests and collect experimental data on CO₂ behavior.
• Apply optical imaging techniques, including Schlieren photography, to visualize gas dynamics.
• Develop computational models to simulate and analyze experimental results.
• Perform data analysis and validate findings through experimental-computational comparisons.
• Collaborate with research group members to advance cryogenic carbon capture technologies.
• Publish research findings in peer-reviewed journals and present at international conferences.
